[QUOTE=PaulJS;2872121]I've run mkdir test.

Code:

So it looks like your KoboRoot.tgz is correct, and your tar can extract it. So WTF (!) is it refusing to in the script?

I'm puzzled. The only other thing I can think of is that given your location perhaps something in your locale is breaking tar. That's probably your LANG environment variable. Try setting LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 before running the script?
